1. Lay the melon on its side on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, remove half an inch off the top and bottom of the melon.
2. Stand the melon on one of the cut sides. Starting from the top, and following the contour of the melon, carefully peel the skin off with the knife, about ¼ inch in depth.
3. Continue to peel the melon, taking off 2-3 inch wide pieces of the peel following the green inner peel color, being sure to cut deep enough to see only the flesh.
4. Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.

Cut into desired shapes and sizes. These are my favorite three ways to cut melons:

1. Thin slices: Turn the melon hollow side down, then cut thin slices in the same direction as the top and bottom slices you cut off.
2. Wedges: Turn the melon hollow side down, then cut wide slices around the curvature of the melon in the opposite direction as the top and bottom slices you cut off.
3. Bite Sized Cubes: Follow the steps for cutting the melon into wedges and then cut each wedge into bite-sized chunks.
